Question

Divide 60 into two parts, so that three times the greater may exceeds 100 by as much as 8 times
the less falls shot of 200.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'x'

other 60-x

ACC. to question

3(60-x)-100=200-9(X)

180-3x-100=200-9x

-3x=9x=200+109-180

6x=120

X=120/6

X=20

other one=60-20

=40

Answer 2

Answer:

Solution:-

Let the one part be 'x'

Then the other part will be 60 - x

So, according to the question.

3(60 - x) - 100 = 200 - 9(x)

180 - 3x - 100 = 200 - 9x

- 3x =9x = 200 + 100 - 180

6x = 120

x = 120/6 

x = 20 

Then the other part is 60 - 20 = 40
